Oxyrhopus Emberti
And today it bears my name: Oxyrhopus emberti. It is one of the so-called false coral snakes, which imitate the coloring of the poisonous coral snake in order to keep predators at bay. The only recently discovered snake changes color as it grows (over a meter, no animal would fall for the deception anymore). We did not find them in the wild but preserved in a museum in Bolivia. She had previously been misidentified.

The majestic king cobra goes by many names – its scientific name is Ophiophagus hannah, for example. It is the longest venomous snake in existence, a mythological symbol and the national animal of India. The king cobra is surprisingly very shy and tends to avoid people, but is easily irritated by sudden movements: The worldwide emergency department record shows that bites caused by the king cobra are rather uncommon. Rather, the king cobra is one of the endangered species and is protected in China, Vietnam and India. While the king cobra is one of the most well-known species, it is ultimately the least dangerous cobra on this list.
